Sonia M. Lizotte

Sonia M. Lizotte serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical goods and services through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses complex procurements in aerospace manufacturing, engineering services, and management consulting, requiring deep technical understanding and rigorous risk mitigation strategies. While specific contractor names are not available, Lizotte maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes fairness, competition, and performance-based outcomes, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in clear performance metrics and contractual accountability. She routinely engages with industry through pre-solicitation outreach and industry days to ensure market readiness and alignment with agency needs. Lizotte demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 38% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate focus on leveraging socioeconomic programs to expand opportunities for small businesses, particularly in technical and professional service sectors. While she does not prioritize other set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone at this time, her consistent use of total small business set-asides underscores a proactive approach to fostering economic inclusion within the federal supply chain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), followed by 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting) and 541330 (Engineering Services). She regularly acquires specialized aviation components, technical engineering support, and operational management services, indicating expertise in aerospace systems and defense-related technical domains. Her work requires precise interpretation of technical specifications and close coordination with program managers to ensure acquisition outcomes align with mission objectives.
